Bibliotheca Corviniana

Bibliotheca Corviniana or Corvina Library was one of the most renowned libraries of the Renaissance world in Buda Castle, established by Matthias Corvinus, King of the Kingdom of Hungary (1458–1490). The books were taken to Istanbul after the Hungarian defeat by the Ottomans at the Battle of Mohács in 1526.
